## Summary description

GOOBAY 74320 is a 3 m network patch cable complying with the Cat6a standard. It features U/FTP (STP) shielding for reduced electromagnetic interference, RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contact surfaces for reliable signal transmission. Suitable for Ethernet installations, switches, routers and structured cabling where Cat6a performance and shorter cable runs are required.

## Long description

GOOBAY 74320 is a 3 m Cat6a network patch cable with U/FTP (STP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable features gold-plated contact surfaces and a super-slim design with extra-short RJ45 connector housings to reduce cable volume in server cabinets and patch panels. A soft TPE jacket and slim copper conductors provide enhanced flexibility and a small bending radius while maintaining performance for high-speed Ethernet links.
Advantages
The shielded U/FTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference for more reliable data transmission in environments with potential signal noise. Gold-plated contacts and high-quality copper conductors lower contact resistance and help prevent corrosion. The super-thin cable profile and extra-short connectors improve air circulation in dense rack or patch panel installations, reducing heat buildup compared with conventional cabling. The TPE jacket offers flexibility and a compact bend protection to extend service life.
Suitable for
10 Gigabit Ethernet links (10GBASE-T) and other Ethernet standards up to 10 Gbit/s
Connections between switches, routers and patch panels in data cabinets
Structured cabling where reduced cable volume and improved airflow are required
Power over Ethernet (PoE / PoE+) applications
Short to medium horizontal cable runs in offices, server rooms and network closets
Key specifications
Length: 3 m
Standard: Cat6a
Shielding: U/FTP (individual foil around twisted pairs plus overall braid/foil as applicable for STP)
Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, straight male on both ends
Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
Conductor material: copper (CU)
Cable jacket material: low-smoke, halogen-free TPE
Cable diameter: approx. 3.8 mm
Conductor gauge: AWG 32
Colour: black
How to use
Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a switch, router or patch panel and the other into the corresponding device port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until they click to establish a secure connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and stress points; use the compact bend protection area near the connector to reduce strain. For installations in racks or patch panels, orient the extra-short connectors to reduce congestion and maintain airflow.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, use this Cat6a U/FTP cable for short to medium runs where 10 Gbit/s throughput or PoE delivery is required. Avoid over-tight bending around sharp edges and keep cable bundles organized to preserve shielding effectiveness. In high-interference environments, pair shielded cables with properly grounded patch panels and connectors to ensure the shielding functions correctly.
